Intro: Am7Am7

verse 1:

Some life I've been living, like a song in the night
                            D7D7
Good sounds every moment, good news and bright lights

Anytime I get lonesome
 Am7Am7            E minor 7Em7   Am7Am7
I just got to do the things right

verse 2:

Make way for the lady, you can do it my son
                           D7D7
Making hay with no gravy, brings the good folk down

Anytime you get lonely
  Am7Am7         E minor 7Em7
You just got to turn it around

verse 3:

This life I've been given, it don't tell you no lies
                             D7D7
Could've been somewhat wasted, how could it be otherwise

When the sound of the laughter brought the tears in to my eyes
   Am7Am7                E minor 7Em7  Am7Am7
Make way for the lady, you can do it my son


verse 4:

Making hay with no gravy, gets the day's work done
                                D7D7

     Am7Am7
Turn it around

Shake hands with the father, the son and the holy ghost
                         D7D7
The impossible believers and the heavenly host

If you must do it better, you just got to do it the most
   Am7Am7                E minor 7Em7  Am7Am7
Make way for the lady, you can do it my son


VERSE 6:

Making hay with no gravy, brings all the good folk down
